Lots of people have pleasant memories of bookstores, and are unhappy that those stores haven't thrived since the Internet, but not needing to schlep down to a store to buy information printed on dead trees is an unalloyed good.

You aren’t invited over for dinner anymore…
I like bookstores!

I think I'm mostly thinking about technical books. Like having to go to the store to know how to write a socket program or to do multithreaded C++. Not good!

I’m telling my wife you spit on her livelihood.
I'm more scared of her than I am of you! I did nothing of the sort!
